Fragments of the Lost [Fate/Grand Order] [Abandoned]

Chapter 20

"How are you feeling dear husband?"

"Geez... I don't know. Does abruptly waking up in a place that isn't my room nor my bed sound like a pleasant feeling to wake up to?"

"Hmm~"

"Well... You know if your sister finds out—"

"She'll be displeased yes." Morgan cut Archer off without looking, brewing tea as she lays on the ground of her room. The warm rug underneath as she calmly smiled. "All the better reason to have taken you."

"You really enjoy angering her, don't you? Sibling rivalry truly is something..." Archer sighed as sweat continued running down his face. "Thanks." Archer said as Morgan put a cold towel over his head.

"Hmm~ I didn't hear you correctly, can you repeat that?"

"... Thanks."

"Louder."

"Thanks!"

"Much better fu~"

"You're a damn witch."

"That is what I'm known for yes."

"Sigh You could have done anything else to anger your sister you know? Any other day, yet you chose the day I've fallen ill."

"And I saw it as a perfect opportunity to strike!" Morgan said with confidence.

"I don't follow."

"Hmm... Worry not dear husband, for I shall explain to you." Morgan said. "Given your circumstances, I knew that my dear sister would go and visit you over the day to make sure you don't make things worse and rest. So, I knew that she would be worried and tend to your aid and take care of you for most of the day."

"Yeah...?"

"And so I decided, what if I ruined her day by taking you? Throw her plans out of the door by taking care of you instead!"

"Yes, I'm sure that would piss her off the most."

"And that's exactly it. Thwarting her plans in the process."

After a bit of silence passed. Archer decided to speak.

"You know... She's gonna kill you right?"

"She may try. But she shall fail."

"Doesn't she know your location? Or she'll find it out eventually?"

"Hmm. Yes, that is troublesome in the end. Which is why I used a bit of magecraft here and there... She'll have to break through the barrier I made if she wishes to get here." Morgan said as she poured tea onto a set of two cups. "Rise, I brewed tea for the both of us to enjoy in the meantime."

"You didn't have to do this you know?" Archer moved the towel away and got up from the bed. Grabbing hold of the tea that was handed to him. "Thanks."

"It's my pleasure..." Morgan said quietly. Taking a sip of her tea as she closed her eyes. "I did this out of my own will. Not because I wanted to enrage my sister."

"What? The tea?"

"Partially. In the end, I may have taken you away just to enrage Artoria. But... At the same time, I did it because I wanted to treat you myself... I didn't find it fair that she was hogging you for herself. Especially all those other Artoria's..." Morgan frowned coldly as she looked at her tea. Seriously... They multiply like pests! Like slimes from an RPG game!

"Hogging me huh?" Archer asked with a raised brow. He doesn't remember anything like being hogged around. "I don't understand what you mean. They don't hog me... Do they?" Archer asked confused.
